I’m Learning a Gang More S#$% in Start-up Chile: Part 2

As I have said multiple times now, one of the best things about Start-up Chile is the other companies. It’s not that the staff aren’t good – but I have spent a lot more time with the other companies since the program did not “officially” start until Thursday – which is kind of crazy considering how much I have learned and done already!

“Quit saying your Spanish isn’t good! My goal in this program is to learn English so well that I can pitch our start-up in English. Right now my co-founder does the pitches but I am going to learn English well enough that I can give our pitch in English by the end of this program! You should set a goal to do yours in Spanish.”

Well, all righty then.

Astrid is a great believer in jumping off a cliff and building your wings on the way down. So much so that she has scheduled me to do a live broadcast with one of the largest sites in Colombia – in Spanish! (Think someone whose English is not perfect agreeing to do an online interview for Parents magazine.)

I’m constantly around people who force me to step up my game – and that is good.

—— And now I have to go because the plane is taking off. I’ve been in the U.S. for 3 days and now I’m heading back, but that’s another post.
